It's revisionist history to suggest his tenure was a steady decline because his last 4 years were mediocre (w/ exception to 2001). If you were told tomorrow that SU could get a coach who would have three 10 win seasons, be ranked consistently in the top 25, have one losing season and stick around for 14 years...would you hire him? Forget all the BS comparing quality of conference opponents, inherited players, lack of funding and all the other reasons people give to qualify P's record as great or mediocre. I think most SU fans would regardless if it was a steady slide from Top 25 to mediocrity. Especially given how much the program has cratered in the past 7 years. And I think fans of most FBS schools would sign up for having that type of coach (not specifically P) running their program. [/QUOTE]
